Harnai (Balochi: هرنائی دمگ, Pashto: هرناۍ ولسوالۍ, Urdu: ضلع ہرنائی) is a district in the northeastern part of the Balochistan province of Pakistan. Harnai is the principal town of this district and serves as its administrative headquarters.
Until 2007, Harnai had been a tehsil of Sibi District, in August, the Balochistan Government announced the Harnai district would be created by splitting the Sibi district and forming the new district from Harnai and Shahrag tehsils and the sub-tehsil of Khost.[2]
The predominant first language is Pashto. Wanetsi, or Tarino, a unique and archaic dialect of Pashto, is spoken in the district.[3]
